I wouldn't eat regular shrimp raw either, but there is a sweet shrimp that
is served raw in sushi bars. Called ama ebi (raw prawn). It is only
available in season, but I don't know when that is. I'll ask tomorrow when
picking up the salmon roe.

edges where the bacteria could be. So you can eat meat that is mostly raw.
Try it, I'll bet you'll like it.
